BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The invention relates in general to a system for manufacturing amicro-retarder and a method for manufacturing the same, and moreparticularly to a system for manufacturing a micro-retarder by way ofheat treatment and a method for manufacturing the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Referring to FIG. 1, a perspective of a conventional method formanufacturing a micro-retarder 910 is shown. The micro-retarder 910 is akey parts of a 3-D display device. As indicated in FIG. 1, thepolymolecule film 911 is optically anisotropic in its moleculestructure, which induces optical anisotropism on the material. Opticalphase delay between different axes occurs after the polarized lightpasses through the polymolecule film 911. The conventional method formanufacturing the micro-retarder 910 heats a particular partial area ofthe polymolecule film 911 by a heating source 930 so as to resume thepolymolecule film 911 to be optically isotropic. The heated partial area910 a is alternated with the unheated partial area 910 b, therebyforming a micro-retarder 910.

Referring to FIG. 2, a perspective of a polarized light L9 passingthrough a micro-retarder 910 is shown. The polarized light L9 is splitinto two polarized directions after passing through the micro-retarder910. When the polarized light L9 passes through the heated partial area910 a, optical phase delay does not occur to the polarized light L9.When the polarized light L9 passes through the unheated partial area 910b, optical phase delay occurs to the polarized light L9. When thequantity of the optical phase delay is selected as π and the anglebetween the direction of the polarized light L9 and the optical axis ofthe phase retarder plate 911 is 45 degrees, the polarization directionof the polarized light L9 after passing through the unheated partialarea 910 b will be rotated by 90 degrees. As indicated in FIG. 2, thepolarization directions of the light passes through the heated partialarea 910 a and unheated partial area 910 b become orthogonal to eachother. Thus, the micro-retarder 910 can be applied in a 3-D displaydevice to create a 3-D image effect.

Referring to FIG. 3, a retardation curve of a micro-retarder 910fabricated by a conventional method is shown. In FIG. 3, the X-axisdenotes position, and the Y-axis denotes phase delay. When theconventional heating source 930 heats the polymolecule film 911, theheating energy is distributed unevenly and heating energy diffuses.

Referring to FIG. 4. FIG. 4 shows a cross-sectional energy distributiondiagram of the laser light adopting TEM₀₀. Particularly, when the laserbeam adopting TEM₀₀ is used as a heating source 930, the energydistribution is a Gaussian distribution curve where the energy incentral area is higher than that in the peripheral area. Thus, thedistribution of the heating energy becomes even more uneven. Asindicated in FIG. 3, the change between the heated partial area 910 aand the unheated partial area 910 b is depicted by a smooth curve not asteep line. That is, the phase delay in the border of the heated partialarea 910 a is not significantly different from that in the unheatedpartial area 910 b. Thus, the conventional micro-retarder 910 willresult in problem of poor stereo contrast.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION First Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 5, a manufacturing system 100 of a micro-retarder 110according to a first embodiment of the invention is shown. Themanufacturing system 100 of the micro-retarder 110 includes a carryingdevice 120, a heating device 130 and a movement control device 150.

The carrying device 120 is used for carrying a polymolecule film 111. Inthe present embodiment of the invention, the carrying device 120 isexemplified as a carrying platform.

The heating device 130 provides a heating source H. Examples of theheating source H include a laser beam, an infra-red light, anultra-sound wave, an electron beam and a neutron beam. In the presentembodiment of the invention, the heating source H is exemplified as aCO₂ laser beam. The manufacturing system 100 of the micro-retarder 110further includes a reflector set 160 for reflecting the heating source Honto the polymolecule film 111.

In the present embodiment of the invention, the energy formed in thecenter of the heating source H is lower than that formed in theperipheral area. Let the laser beam be taken for example. The transverseelectromagnetic mode (TEM) of the laser beam is selected from TEM₀₁,TEM₁₀ or TEM₁₁. Referring to FIG. 6. FIG. 6 shows a cross-sectionaldistribution diagram along dual peaks of the laser light adopting TEM₀₁,TEM₁₀ and TEM₁₁. As indicated in FIG. 6, the 3-D energy distribution ofthe laser light when the transverse electromagnetic mode adopts TEM₀₁,TEM₁₀ and TEM₁₁ is an inverse Gaussian distribution curve, wherein thecentranergy in the central area is smaller than that in the peripheralarea.

The movement control device 150 for controlling the heating source H andthe polymolecule film 111 to relatively move can be a stepping motor ora server motor. The movement control device 150 can perform thatfunction by way of controlling the movement of the carrying device 120or the movement of the heating device 130, or directly controlling thereflection path of the heating source H. In the present embodiment ofthe invention, the controlling mode of the movement control device 150is exemplified by controlling the movement of the carrying device 120.

Referring to FIG. 7, a flowchart of a method for manufacturing amicro-retarder 100 according to a first embodiment of the invention isshown. The manufacturing method of the micro-retarder 100 according tothe first embodiment of the invention is stated below.

Firstly, the method begins at step S102, the above-mentionedpolymolecule film 111 is disposed on the carrying device 120.

Next, the method proceeds to step S104, the heating source H is providedby the heating device 130, wherein the energy formed in the central areaof the heating source H is smaller than that in the peripheral area.

Then, the method proceeds to step S106, the heating source H and thepolymolecule film 111 are relatively moved along a first direction C1 bythe movement control device 150, so that the heating source H heats atleast one partial area 110 a of the polymolecule film 111 along thefirst direction C1 and resumes the partial area 110 a of the phaseretardation 111 to be optically isotropic.

After the heating source H completes heat treatment on a partial area110 a, the movement control device 150 further controls the polymoleculefilm 111 and the heating source H to relatively move along a seconddirection C2, so that the heating source H performs heat treatment toanother partial area 110 a. The second direction C2 is substantiallyperpendicular to the first direction C1, wherein the first direction C1and the second direction C2 are respectively the X-axial direction andthe Y-axial direction of FIG. 5.

When the movement control device 150 controls the carrying device 120 tomove along the first direction C1 and the second direction C2, theheating source H is enabled to relatively move along the first directionC1 and the second direction C2.

Referring to FIG. 8, an energy accumulation diagram of the heatingsource H of the first embodiment moving along the first direction C1 isshown. The energy formed in the central area of the heating source H issmaller than that formed in the peripheral area. When the heating sourceH moves along the first direction C1 and passes the measuring line L0,the accumulation of energy is indicated at the right-hand side of FIG.8. Thus, after the heating source H completes heat treatment on apartial area 110 a (illustrated in FIG. 5), energy is evenly received bythe partial area 110 a and the moleculous arrangement in the whole widthof the heated partial area 100 a is uniform and significantly differentfrom that in the unheated partial area 110 b (illustrated in FIG. 5).

Also referring to FIG. 5, the manufacturing system 100 of themicro-retarder 110 further includes a measuring device 170, a splittingdevice 171, a driving device 180 and a processing device 181. Thesplitting device 171 disposed between the heating device 130 and thereflector set 160 is for reflecting a part of the heating source H tothe measuring device 170. The splitting device 171 can be abeam-splitting half-mirror. By means of the measuring device 170 and thesplitting device 171, the manufacturing method of the micro-retarder 110of the present embodiment of the invention further includes thefollowing feedback adjusting steps.

Firstly, a heating energy of the heating source H is measured by themeasuring device 170. In the present embodiment of the invention, themeasuring device 170 receives a partial laser beam and then measures thepower of the received laser beam accordingly.

Next, the heating device 130 adjusts a driving energy of the heatingsource H according to the heating energy. For example, if the processingdevice 181 determines that the heating energy drops to a first levelfrom a predetermined level, then the control driving device 180increases the driving energy of the heating device 130 until the heatingenergy resumes the predetermined level. If the processing unit 181determines that the heating energy has increased to a second level, thenthe control driving device 180 decreases the driving energy of theheating device 130 until the heating energy resumes the predeterminedlevel. Therefore, the heating energy of the heating source H remainsstable over the time.

Also, referring to FIG. 5, the manufacturing system 100 of themicro-retarder 110 further includes a cooling device 190 for cooling theheated partial area 110 a. The manufacturing method of themicro-retarder 110 further promptly reduces the heat of the heatedpartial area 110 a via the step of cooling the heated partial area 110a, so that the heat of the heated partial area 110 a will not bediffused to the unheated partial area 110 b. Thus, the moleculousarrangement in the whole width of the heated partial area 110 a isuniform and significantly different from that in the unheated partialarea 110 b.

Besides, the manufacturing system 100 of the micro-retarder 110 of thepresent embodiment of the invention further includes a polarizationadjusting device 191 such as a polarizer. The polarization adjustingdevice 191 is disposed on the transmission path of the laser beam. Thepolymolecule film 111 is optically isotiopic already before thepolymolecule film 111 is heated. The manufacturing method of themicro-retarder 110 further adjusts the polarized angle of the laser beamaccording to the optical axis direction of the polymolecule film 111.For example, the polarized direction of the laser beam is adjusted to beparallel or perpendicular to the optical axis direction of thepolymolecule film 111 or form a particular angle with the optical axisdirection of the polymolecule film 111. The adjustment of the polarizedangle is based on actual operating parameters such as the type of thelaser beam or the material of the polymolecule film 111.

After the laser beam adjusts the polarized angle, the laser beam isprojected onto the polymolecule film 111 so that the heat diffusionspeed of the polymolecule film 111 is reduced. Thus, the differencebetween the moleculous arrangement in the heated partial area 110 a andthat in the unheated partial area 110 b is still significant.

Second Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 9, a manufacturing system 200 of a micro-retarder 110according to a second embodiment of the invention is shown. Themanufacturing system 200 of the micro-retarder 110 of the presentembodiment of the invention and the method for manufacturing the samediffers from the manufacturing system 100 of the micro-retarder 110 ofthe first embodiment and the method for manufacturing the same in thatthe manufacturing system of the micro-retarder 110 further includes aconical lens 241 and a focusing lens 242 and that the laser beamoutputted by the heating device 130 adopts TEM₀₀, and other similaritiesare not repeated here.

Referring to FIG. 10, an energy distribution diagram of a laser beampassing through a conical lens 241 and a focusing lens 242 is shown. Theconical lens 241 deflects the energy formed in the central area of thelaser beam, so that the energy formed in the center of the laser beam issmaller than that in the peripheral area of the heating source H. Whenthe laser beam passes through the conical lens 241, the distribution ofthe laser beam energy changes to a valley distribution curve from aGaussian distribution curve. After the laser beam passes through thefocusing lens 242, the distribution of the laser beam energy changes toan inverse Gaussian distribution curve from the valley distributioncurve. Thus, through the design of combining the conical lens 241 andthe focusing lens 242, the present embodiment of the invention alsoenables the energy in the central area of heating source H to be smallerthan that in the peripheral area.

Referring to FIG. 11, an energy accumulation diagram of the heatingsource H of the second embodiment moving along the first direction C1 isshown. The energy in the central area of the heating source H is smallerthan that in the peripheral area, and the shape of the distribution ofthe heat is like a donut. When the heating source H moves along thefirst direction C1 and passes the measuring line L0, the energyaccumulation is indicated at the right-hand side of FIG. 11. Thus, afterthe heating source H completes heat treatment on a partial area 110 a(illustrated in FIG. 9), energy is evenly received by the partial area110 a and the moleculous arrangement in whole width of the heatedpartial area 100 a is uniform and significantly different from that inthe unheated partial area 110 b (illustrated in FIG. 9).

Referring to FIGS. 12A˜12C, other disposition diagrams of the conicallens 241 and focusing lens 14 of FIG. 10 are shown. Despite the conicallens 241 and the focusing lens 242 of the present embodiment of theinvention are exemplified as the disposition in FIG. 10, the dispositionof the conical lens 241 and the focusing lens 242 is not limitedthereto. For example, the conical lens 241 can be disposed in front ofthe focusing lens 242 or vice versa, or the conical lens 241 can bedisposed with the front side or the back side facing the focusing lens242 as indicated in FIGS. 12A˜12C.

Third Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 13, a micro-retarder 110 of a manufacturing system 300according to a third embodiment of the invention is shown. Themanufacturing system 300 of the micro-retarder 110 of the presentembodiment of the invention and the method for manufacturing the samediffers from the manufacturing system 100 of the micro-retarder 110 ofthe first embodiment and the method for manufacturing the same in thatthe movement control device 350 does not control the movement of thecarrying device 120 but controls the reflection path of the heatingsource H, and other similarities are not repeated here.

As indicated in FIG. 13, the reflector set 160 includes a firstreflector 161 and a second reflector 162. After the first reflector 161and the second reflector 162 reflect the heating source H, the heatingsource H is projected onto the polymolecule film 111. The movementcontrol device 350 can control the second reflector 162 to move alongthe first direction C1 and control the first reflector 161 the secondreflector 162 to move passively along the first direction C1. That is,the first reflector 161 moves along the first direction C1 with thesecond reflector 162, so that the heating source H reflected by thefirst reflector 161 is still projected onto the second reflector 162,and the position in which the heating source H is projected onto thepolymolecule film 111 moves along the first direction C1. The movementcontrol device 350 can further control the second reflector 162 to movealong the second direction C2 and control the first reflector 161 tomove passively with the second reflector 162. That is, the firstreflector 161 rotates with the second reflector 162, so that the heatingsource H reflected by the first reflector 161 is still projected ontothe second reflector 162, and that the position on which the heatingsource H is projected onto the polymolecule film 111 moves along thesecond direction C2.

The ways of controlling the reflector set 160 are not limited to theabove mentioned. For example, the reflector set 160 can be controlled inthe following ways. The movement control device 350 can control thefirst reflector 161 to move along the first direction C1 and control thesecond reflector 162 to move along the first direction C1 passively withthe first reflector 161. That is, the second reflector 162 moves alongthe first direction C1 with the first reflector 161, so that the heatingsource H reflected by the first reflector 161 is still projected ontothe second reflector 162, and that the position on which the heatingsource H is projected onto the polymolecule film 111 moves along thefirst direction C1. The movement control device 350 can further controlthe first reflector 161 to move along the second direction C2 andcontrol the second reflector 162 to move with the first reflector 161passively. That is, the second reflector 162 rotates with the firstreflector 161, so that the heating source H reflected by the firstreflector 161 is still projected onto the second reflector 162, and thatthe position on which the heating source H is projected onto thepolymolecule film 111 moves along the second direction C2.

Thus, the position on which the heating source H is projected onto thepolymolecule film 111 can be changed by moving the reflector set 160alone without moving the heating device 130 or the carrying device 120.The reflector set 160 has lightweight and is easy to move, hence makingthe movement control of the heating source H easy.

Fourth Embodiment

Referring to FIG. 14, a micro-retarder 110 of a manufacturing system 400according to a fourth embodiment of the invention is shown. Themanufacturing system 400 of the micro-retarder 110 of the presentembodiment of the invention and the method for manufacturing the samediffers from the manufacturing system 100 of the micro-retarder 110 ofthe first embodiment and the method for manufacturing the same in thatthe carrying device 420 is a hollowed barrel, and other similarities arenot repeated here.

The carrying device 420 has a central axis L420. The polymolecule film111 is disposed on the inner wall of the carrying device 420. Thereflector set 460 is disposed on the central axis L420, so that theheating source H reflected via reflector set 460 is projected onto thepolymolecule film 111. The movement control device 450 is used forcontrolling the carrying device 420 to continue rotating around thecentral axis L420, so that the position on which the heating source H isprojected onto the polymolecule film 111 moves along the surface of thepolymolecule film 111. When the carrying device 420 rotates around thecentral axis L420 for a cycle, the heating source H also heats along abar-shaped partial area 110 a so as to resume the partial area 110 a ofthe polymolecule film 111 to be optically isotropic.

In addition to controlling the carrying device 420 to continue rotatingaround the central axis L420, the position on which the heating source His projected onto the polymolecule film 111 can move along the surfaceof the polymolecule film 111 by way of controlling the reflector set 460to rotate around the central axis L420. The user can choose either wayaccording to the needs of actual product and facilities.

Besides, the movement control device 450 further controls the reflectorset 460 to move back and forth with respect to the heating device 130along the central axis L420. When the reflector set 460 relatively movesthe heating device 130 along the central axis L420, the position onwhich the heating source H is projected onto the polymolecule film 111is shifted to another bar-shaped partial area 110 a, so that the heatingsource H heats several partial areas 110 a of the polymolecule film 111.

When controlling the rotation of the carrying device 420, there is noneed to reduce the speed or accelerate, and the rotation is facilitatedby momentum. Moreover, the reflector set 460 only needs to relativelymove the heating device 130 back and forth along the central axis L420.Thus, the movement control of the heating source H is made easy.

The design of the system for manufacturing a micro-retarder and a methodfor manufacturing the same disclosed in the above embodiments of theinvention combines a movement control device, a measuring device, acooling device, a polarization adjusting device and a reflector set, notonly making the macromolecule direction in the heated partial area ofthe micro-retarder significantly different that in the unheated partialarea but also possessing many advantages exemplified below.

Firstly, the energy formed in the central area of the heating source issmaller than that in the peripheral area. Thus, after the heating sourcecompletes heat treatment on a partial area, the energy received ineverywhere of the partial area is the same, so that the moleculousarrangement in the heated partial area is significantly different thatin the unheated partial area.

Secondly, the measuring device is used for measuring the heating energyof the heating source. The heating device adjusts the driving energy ofthe heating device according to the heating energy, so that the heatingenergy of the heating source remains stable over the time.

Thirdly, the cooling device is used for cooling the heated partial area,so that the heat of the heated partial area will not be diffused to theunheated partial area. Thus, the moleculous arrangement in the heatedpartial area is significantly different that in the unheated partialarea.

Fourthly, the polarization adjusting device adjusts the polarized angleof the laser beam according to the optical axis direction of thepolymolecule film, so that when the laser beam is projected onto thepolymolecule film, the heat diffusing speed of the polymolecule film isreduced. Thus, the moleculous arrangement in the heated partial areastill remains significantly different from that in the unheated partialarea.

Fifthly, when the laser beam outputted by the heating device adoptsTEM₀₁, the energy formed in the central area of the laser beam isdeflected by a conical lens, so that the energy formed in the centralarea of the laser beam is also smaller than that in the peripheral area.

Sixthly, the movement control device further can control the movement ofthe reflector set so as to change the reflection path of the heatingsource. As the reflector set has lightweight and is easy to move, themovement control of the heating source is made easy.

Seventhly, the shape of the carrying device can be hollowed barrel andis driven by the movement control device to rotate continuously. Whencontrolling the rotation of the carrying device, there is no need toreduce the speed or accelerate, and the rotation is facilitated bymomentum. Moreover, the reflector set only needs to relatively move theheating device back and forth along the central axis. Thus, the movementcontrol of the heating source is made easy.
